Full title :OR, defence and security / edited by Roger Forder.

Summary

OR, Defence and Security presents a selection of papers, originally published in the Journal of the Operational Research Society and the Journal of Simulation, which exemplify important themes and topics in Operational Research (OR) as applied to modern-day defence and security issues. Topics range from frontline OR in a peace-support operation to new developments in combat modelling, and from the logistics of overseas intervention to defence planning at the top level. Also included are examples of applications addressing insurgency and terrorism. The book is edited by Dr. Roger Forder, who had a distinguished career in OR in the UK Ministry of Defence and who has written an authoritative introductory chapter, setting the material in the context of the global strategic environment as it has evolved since the end of the Cold War.--book cover.
